Wow! Thank you for the rather expansive ZAS fleet. Didn’t realize that a DC-9 made it into their company colors. Love the Jetstar’s too!

There are two types of DC-9s there, one is an RC convertible. I stumbled across the DC-9 in standard ZAS livery right before I posted the pix, so I added that in. This is my first painting of the AIA DC-9-30v2 model, I love it since it uses nearly identical textures to their MD templates (except for fuselage length and engines), so it took no time to paint these after I got the MDs done. Today is file packaging, and maybe some of these might get off to AVSIM by tonight. :{)

So, while I'm accumulating Caravelles for my release project, I am looking at the rest of the airlines that I am painting Caravelles for, such as this.... Here is the Sunbeam clan (their callsign). CG has a marvelous 757 in his cache, so I am not doing that one, but these are color-matched to his. The only aircraft outstanding is their Nationwide DC-8-61 lease, and I am not painting any more DWAI DC-8s or DWAI/NAAI 707s. I have something nice in the works which hopefully will arrive before Christmas, but we will see. I just don't want to paint something I will have to do over in the near future, don't get ahead of me on this one, lol. The NAAI 707-320 is wonderful, but it is just one model with one engine option, and the 707 is a big family.... :{)

Here are some more charter Caravelles from the 80s and 90s... I know that CG has the IST Boeings in his files, not sure about APR, they used some other aircraft as well. I might do the IST 737s in 2048, but I have so many things going in the shop, that won't happen for awhile. :{)

The early scheme HSL Caravelles have black noses now.....:{)

There was also at least one Hispania jet with an all white nose cone with a black tip from 1986 onward it seems

HSL had eight 733s, and I found pix of all of them. There are enough little variations between them to paint all eight. I will add the white-nose 732 as well, it will give me an even count on the 732 paints.

Okay, I am taking the next step in technology, bear with me while I get a rhythm for this....
I added a Google OneDrive link to my signature, and you will begin to find all sorts of goodies in there. This will allow a few things. First, with all of the endless corrections this human has to do on this AI crap (lol), it will allow me to update my own files in real-time without sorting it out with a public website. Second, and much more important, this is my own personal drive I happen to have available for people, so there might be some things in there that I would never be able to upload to the real world because of lack of permissions. These files are ONLY because I can't track down original authors or groups, not because I'm doing whatever I want. I still try to play fair, but I am adaptable, and the 'no harm no foul' rule applies here. I'm not going to advertise them too much when I upload, but there will be the occasional hint on this thread to check my drive, and there will be some new and hopefully wonderful things for the retro AI hobby. If I get any flak from the outside, I will probably have to remove the files, but let's try it and see.... Lastly, I will be able to preview nice big screenshots without jamming up cgold's storage space.
Last thing, please, no requests for files that I can't publicly release, you will just have to be satisfied with what I turn out on the low-down.

So, I still haven't figured out how to link pix to Google Drive yet, I tried copying the link, but it doesn't work. Anyways, here is one that Nils missed for the AFR fleet.... I still have to do this the old-fashioned way. AFR tried this silver stripe thing back in 1991 or so, they painted several aircraft in the scheme, which didn't work out, kind of like my ability to link pictures remotely, lol. There will be two rare 762s and a couple of early 744s coming up as well, color-matched to integrate with the back end of Nils' fleet. This package is already in my drive, along with 376 other files, mostly recent stuff from the last year, but I will be putting a lot more material in there in the coming period of time. :{)

Awesome AF 767's! I think I might do a little 'remastered' version of my AF paints, with a focus on the classic 747's (adding liveries for the 1998 soccer WC stickers, the "Jumbo" 747-100 and at least 1 promotional livery for a french overseas territory) and maybe adding the 737-200/300/500.
